I became a VC 12 years ago in 2007 when the pace of deals was much slower. I had just left Salesforce.com where I was VP, Products, after they had acquired my second startup. As I was trying to figure out the role I wanted to play in the VC world I decided I wanted to focus on businesses that were building deeply technical products to solve problems for business users.

Angel investing started to break into the mainstream in popular American culture in the early 2000s. It started with stories of individuals striking it rich from investments in companies like eBay, Yahoo, PayPal and Google.

Irina Dovganetskiy is like many other moms — she aims to only use the best products for her family, which means finding products without too many chemicals and harsh ingredients. Many other countries have already banned a long list of chemicals from household and personal hygiene and beauty products, while the US has a much shorter list of banned ingredients.

Folks in the business of community building know the story when it comes to outside funders. They fund projects, not organizations. This policy has meant that many local organizations are starved for funds. They can raise money for specific projects, but can’t invest in their people or in building up their organizations. In practice, this means that community building organizations operate with insufficient funds to pay people, to build organizations, and to do the job right.

Video is powerful. It humanizes and personalizes your brand. There's a lot of tools you can use to enhance your video production and one of my favorites is Hey Mic , a wireless microphone, which uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone. One of the most powerful things you can do to start creating video is to interview other people. You can use Hey Mic to to stand a few feet from your phone, enabling it to capture video while the Hey Mic captures audio of your interview, or just of your solo talk.

I remember back in the early 2000s, the direct marketing industry and the tech sector worked with Congress to craft sensible regulations for email marketing. The result was called CAN-SPAM and it was passed into law in 2003. The law has been modified to clarify certain terms and rules. While it certainly was not perfect (what is perfect?), it paved the way for a lot of progress in making email a workable medium for consumers and businesses.

Por Amanda Hinojosa, Universidad de Howard. El sesgo es una preferencia o tendencia ya sea a favor o en contra de una persona, grupo o cosa en comparación con otra. Esta definición sugiere que el sesgo es algo que prevalece en todos los aspectos de la vida. Mientras que algunos prejuicios, como su preferencia por comer en su restaurante favorito, pueden ser inofensivos, otros prejuicios pueden llevar a condiciones y juicios injustos y a una discriminación poco ética.

Dr. Daniel Kahneman features on the latest Farnam Street podcast and it’s a surprising episode. Kahneman wrote Thinking Fast and Slow. I admire Kahneman a great deal. Not for his Nobel or for his work, which are both impressive, but for his humility. Some of the key tenets of Kahneman’s work in his famous book were disproved. And he owned up to it , both in print and on the podcast.
